Smarter waste strategies: Helping deliver on the promise of advanced nuclear
At COP28, held in Dubai in 2023, a clear consensus emerged: Nuclear energy must be a cornerstone of the global clean energy transition. With electricity demand projected to soar as we decarbonize not just power but also industry, transport, and heat, the case for new nuclear is compelling. More than 20 countries committed to tripling global nuclear capacity by 2050. In the United States alone, the Department of Energy forecasts that the country’s current nuclear capacity could more than triple, adding 200 GW of new nuclear to the existing 95 GW by mid-century.

Session Chair:
Kelsey Amundson (Los Alamos National Lab)
Let’s face it: Being asked to lead a team can bring up nightmares of unproductive meetings and unpleasant confrontations. But it doesn’t have to be that way. We know amazing results can be achieved when individuals collaborate to solve problems.
In this workshop, we will work with several powerful tools to provide concrete action in different situations to build and lead a high performing team. We will address specific team scenarios centered around trust and effective communication. How can we build trust or re-build trust once it is broken? How should we work with others who are causing conflict within the team? What can we do when the team is struggling and we aren’t sure what to do?
You will leave with additional tools for your Leadership Toolkit that are focused on building trust and communicating effectively with yourself and others.
